Hay muchas apps de restaurantes de Barcelona, pero ninguna escrita por 2000 gastrónomos locales. Te preguntarás, ¿qué es un gastrónomo? Pues alguien a quien le apasiona visitar todos los restaurantes de la ciudad y luego describir, con mucha objetividad, qué le han parecido la comida, el servicio, el precio y la decoración. Por eso, en MACARFI descubrirás donde comen los que saben. ¡Pero eso no es todo, aún hay más! También te ofrecemos la posibilidad de encontrar el restaurante que buscas en cada momento a través de nuestro motor de búsqueda capaz de cruzar más de 44.000 opciones. ¿Quieres un sitio con ambiente, buenas croquetas, terraza y precio medio? O tal vez buscas un local con los mejores arroces de la ciudad, excelentes gin-tonics, romántico y con una gran variedad de postres. Lo encontrarás. Y si tus opciones no dan ningún resultado será porque no existe o porque para nuestros gastrónomos no merecía la pena recomendártelo. Sí, son un poco exigentes, qué le vamos a hacer. Lo del geo-localizador no te lo decimos porque es obvio que lo tenemos. Pero, además, en nuestra app encontrarás un ranking con los mejores restaurantes de Barcelona, un sinfín de listas con las recomendaciones de nuestros gastrónomos y la posibilidad de crearte las tuyas. Hay mucho más, pero preferimos que te la descargues y lo vayas descubriendo tú mismo. Buen provecho y ya nos contarás.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Barlleno at 4.9 against MACARFI's 4.3. Barlleno also leads on ratings volume (322 vs 4). MACARFI's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Barlleno holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barlleno has 322 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of MACARFI's written reviews are positive against 83% of Barlleno's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MACARFI ships an update every 4 weeks, Barlleno every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
