Mestrias is not far from the Doubletree Hotel. Recommend taking an Uber cab (not expensive). If NOT an Uber user, download app BEFORE you arrive in Portugal and set up the app with payment facility, phone number, etc. Perfectly safe. We had no problems at any time. Better than a taxi. Once at the restaurant, you will also be within walking distance upwards of some botanical gardens, and a little further up the hill, Ajuda Palace Nationale, a superb palatial and former Royal museum. Now part of the Republic's history. No kings or queens hanging about. Ha!Ha! Fees payable on entry to two areas, both worthwhile but allow time for each. Get used to climbing stairs too! Children will not find the Palace interesting.
