El Fogón de los Arrieros Museum
The El Fogón de los Arrieros Museum features the wood carvings of local artist and cultural activist Juan de Dios Mena. Founded in 1942, the El Fogón de los Arrieros is a cultural center, art gallery and bar that for decades has been the driving force behind Resistencia's artistic commitment and progressive displays of public art. Still the keystone of the region's art community, it is now famous for its eclectic collection of art objects from around the Chaco and Argentina.

Museo Policial
The odd Museo Policial, the police museum, features grisly photos of auto accidents, tales of crimes of passion, and tedious drug-war rhetoric. It redeems itself with absorbing accounts of cuatrerismo (cattle rustling, still widespread in the province) and banditry, including the tale of two 1960s' outlaws who, after killing a policeman, lived for five years on the run, helped by the Chaco's rural poor. Officers accompany visitors on guided tours.

Museo de Escultura
Museo de Escultura is an open-air workshop on the north side of Parque 2 de Febrero. Several of the most impressive sculptures created for every Bienal festival are on display here, and this is where, during the Bienal, and quite frequently at other times, you can catch sculptors at work. At last count, there were 462 sculptures decorating the city streets.

Charly
Named after Chaplin, this is one of Resistencia's smarter restaurants with slightly lugubrious service but quality food. They take their river fish seriously here, and the carefully prepared dishes are praiseworthy. The restaurant has a cheap rotisería around the corner.

Kebon
Popular and not lacking in quality, this corner restaurant has a wide choice of fish and meat dishes, with a series of elaborate sauces to choose from. Service is attentive and the portions generous, but the place somehow lacks a little bit of atmosphere.

Parrillada Don Abel
This parrilla is inside a homey quincho (thatched-roof building) and serves substantial portions of pasta and grilled surubí, in addition to the usual grilled beef. It has a convivial family buzz to it at the weekend.

La Bianca
Busy and bustling, this long-time local split-level favorite keeps ’em coming for its well-priced pasta, pizza and soufflés. There’s also meat and salad dishes in generous quantities. A cheap and cheerful banker.

El Viejo Café
In an elegant old edifice, with an eclectically decorated interior, this is a fine choice at any time of day. Its terrace is a sweet spot for a sundowner, and it gets lively later on weekends.

Zingara
Central and buzzy, this upbeat bar has a lively terrace, good people running it and a wide selection of music. They mix a decent drink, too. A fine choice.
