EatSmith
Sitting in Tambon Tha Ma Kham near the heart of Kanchanaburi, EatSmith draws a mixed crowd of locals and travellers with a broad menu spanning authentic Thai dishes and Western-style cuisine. The kitchen earns consistent praise across both camps, with visitors noting the freshness of the fish, the quality of the Thai cooking, and an unexpectedly accomplished approach to Western food that has impressed even seasoned diners from abroad. The spacious dining room comfortably accommodates large groups, and the atmosphere is elevated by live music, a well-stocked bar featuring beer on tap in multiple varieties, wine, and other drinks.
Expect friendly, attentive service in a relaxed but lively setting. Prices sit at the mid-range level, offering solid value given the food quality and overall experience. The restaurant is open every day from 11:00 to 22:00, making it a convenient stop for lunch or dinner when exploring nearby attractions such as the Bridge over the River Kwai.

Reviews from Google
As a USA Midwesterner who loves all types of food, but was ready for some upscale American cuisine, we were thoroughly impressed. The chef put any restaurant I've been to, to shame. We had large beers, appetisers, the German Pork Knuckle, Barracuda over white sauce, and wagyu steak. We had a miscommunication about how well done the steak should have been, but we visited on new years day and we don't speak Thai, unfortunately. Highly recommended!!
Good food. Real local Thai taste. Have live music. Fish is fresh. Reasonable price.
Nice restaurant and the food were good, not many guests. We came 8.00 pm and no body told us they were closing 9.00 pm. so everything was in a hurry. We went back to Saphan Kwai and found a perfect street food with good food. So never back to Eat Smith.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
