Branch on Bowen | Narwhal On Bowen — Restaurant in Bowen Island Municipality

We did a long 2.5 hour hike from the ferry and around Killarney lake then stopped by here for dessert after a great lunch at the Bowen Island pub just up the road.

This place is located on a dock by the water right beside the ferry terminal. It is 2 connected stores, the Narwhal gift store and the Branch taco restaurant. The signs actually tell you enter through the gift store, go through a tiny connecting doorway to the food counter. They have some amazing looking candles that look like food that look so real.

They have about awesome 10 flavours of Earnest ice cream that you can have in a cup or cone. My wife chose Salted Caramel while I chose the London Fog. Both of us chose to have them with the cone. They also had Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Cupcake and Whisky Hazelnut among their flavours today.

Earnest ice cream is handmade and tastes like it. The London Fog is my son’s favourite ice cream and I found out why. Very creamy and you can taste the black teas, bergamot and vanilla in it! My wife loves the Salted Caramel which is one of their most popular flavours and mine too!

The ice cream was a perfect way to finish off a day trip to beautiful Bowen Island! We will be back for...

Ordered 3 Taco's, order taken by probably by a 12 year old boy. The young teenage girls (who supposedly should be making the food) were just at the take out window talking to their friends while I waited outside. If it wasn't for their friend on the other side of the window to remind them a customer is waiting (me) l be still waiting. The girl started to prepare my order and went back to talking to her friends. She forgot about the Taco's until she was reminded again. She prepared another and then started to fill them. I noticed she was using her hands but not washed them or even wearing gloves. I told them that you didn't wash your hands and cancelled my order. At this time we all have to do our part to stop the spread. Safety and hygiene are important...

Very disappointing. Waited in line to order, saw they were out of a lot of menu items. Double checked with them that my order was available, paid, and waited at the window. Waited there a long time, with people who ordered and paid after me getting their food before me. I asked about my order and was told it was coming. Then they came out a few min later and told me that they ran out of the item i had ordered (even though someone who came and paid after me got the same item). Wasted 40 min, with no food in the end. Not sure if the fact that we were the only POC family in line factored in, but i will not be returning and would not recommend this place to anyone as i felt quite...
