Le Petit Bistro - Washington Island

The lavendar field was smaller than I expected. It smelled very pretty of lavendar. Charge to go into the area is $5 per person. They don't have a public bathroom in the shop, but far off to the side of the fields they have some porta potties. Had their lavendar blue curacao mimosa, that was very good. There's plenty of outdoor seating to sit and enjoy the view. They have an area blocked off that's for cutting your own lavendar for $12 a bunch.

Very unique, like nothing we've ever seen. Grounds were very clean. Shop employees were helpful and friendly. Their shop included any lavender product you can possibly.imagine, as well as a dessert, lunch and drink counter. Out back was an area to purchase beverages to be enjoyed while over looking the lavender fields. $5 entrance fee to the fields, you were allowed to walk around all you wanted. It was beautiful and smelled lovely!

Shop is plump full of everything lavender you can think of, but rather pricey. Macaroons were gorgeous but tasted only okay. Field is very pretty for photo ops but busy and not entertaining other than that.

The smell of this place is so amazing. Lavender at every corner. The food was delicious and so unique with the lavender added to it. We felt so relaxed by the time we hit the courtyard we were nearly floating off to dreamland while listening to the outdoor music.

Always a favorite stop, the products are amazing and the service is superb. You can learn a lot from the proprietors of this beautiful Washington Island staple. Make sure to learn all you can about the 14 different varieties of English lavender they grow. Come by any time, but blooms are peak on average during the last two weeks in July. If you want to see the lavender oil distillation process, swing by in the month of August. As always it’s best to call ahead to inquire in the status of the blooms in the garden and when exactly you can see the distillation process. Make sure to purchase those products specifically made by Fragrant Isle.
