The story
La Scene is at King AbdulAziz Road, Al Shifa, 65251 Abha, Saudi Arabia. The same building houses Senso, an Italian kitchen that Gault&Millau scored 12.5 in 2026.
The restaurant shares a large building with Senso and a Lebanese restaurant, both reviewed by Gault&Millau in 2026. The Lebanese venue scored 11.5 for its hummus beiruti and shish taouk, served at well-spaced tables among lush greenery.
Senso's list covers salads, pizzas, pastas and a few meats. Reviewers picked out the pesto fusilli with parmesan or pine nuts and the limoncello baba with custard filling. The staff are described as warm, and the mocktail menu is extensive.

History
In a small, chic, peaceful, green and particularly well-maintained gastronomic complex, Senso blows a pleasant Italian breeze. The largest of the rooms stands out for its opulent comfort and view of the kitchens. Alternatively, there's another, more intimate space, with soft colors, sober furnishings and plenty of light thanks to its large windows adorned by bucolic foliage. Welcomed by smiling, eager staff, first impressions are very positive. Salads, pizzas, pastas and a few meats form the backbone of a wide-ranging menu. The slightly overcooked fusilli is topped with a tasty pesto alla Senso, with the right amount of parmesan or pine nuts. A few small pieces of chicken add a meaty note. The relaxed atmosphere invites you to continue your journey. The limoncello baba is a must, with its good consistency and custard filling. An extensive mocktail menu.
