The fish type-of ko'e is near the ocean.

Sorry, that should be "The fish type-of things-which-= are-ko'e is near the ocean."

His fish restaurant is near the ocean.

OK. So imagine that one restaurant is a fish= restaurant. Another one is a pancake restaurant.

A fish= one.

A pancake one.

How do I refer do them in= the following text ?

Obviously English word "= one" should correspond to {broda} or {ko'a}. How do I achieve this ?

You want the term ko'e to ref= er to the two restaurants collectively, you want {ko'e goi re gusta}, or {k= o'e goi re le gusta} if you want to explicit about specificity.

If you want to refer to them individually, I don't think that's possibl= e with only one term.

What you have means the pretty much same thing as what I wrote, althoug= h your ko'e assignment is different and your bridi is obviously much more c= omplicated:
ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta
ko'a owns two of so= mething that is amongst (ko'e =3D one or more things that actually is a res= taraunt).
Ko'a owns two things that are ko'e, where ko'e is "one or more restaraunts"=

ko'a ponse ko'e goi re gusta
ko'a owns (ko'e =3D two restaraunts= ).
ko'a owns ko'e, where ko'e is "two restaraunts"

No ! What you suggest is that {ko'e} is two restaurants. But I need {ko'e} = to be each of the restaurants !

I wonder how to express the phrase "he is th= e owner of two cafes" using {ko'a} ("he") and {ko'e} (each of the cafes)
{ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta} ?

{broda} series won't work if in the following text each of the cafes= is described.
