I'm using "flat breakfast bread" for it.)), or assign them individually.
I suppose you could say something like {le finpe me ko'e}. Although that sounds ugly to me, I believe it would work for either your or my assignment of ko'e, the difference being that your assignment of ko'e would make {le finpe me ko'e} refer to a fish restaraunt out of the set of all existing restaraunts, whereas my ko'e would make it refer to a fish restaraunt out of the set of two restaraunts, regardless of how many exist.
Now that I think about it, I think the best assignment for ko'e would be {ko'e goi re ko'a gusta}, since you are wanting to talk about HIS two restaraunts.
So, with all that in mind, my best guess would be:
ko'a ponse ko'e goi re ko'a gusta
--ko'a owns ko'e, where ko'e is his two restaurants.
ko'a owns two restaurants.
.i lo finpe me ko'e vi zvati lo xamsi
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."

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 ?

If you want to refer to them individually, I don't think that's possible with only one term.
What you have means the pretty much same thing as what I wrote, although your ko'e assignment is different and your bridi is obviously much more complicated:
ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta
ko'a owns two of something that is amongst (ko'e = one or more things that actually is a restaraunt).
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 = two restaraunts).
ko'a owns ko'e, where ko'e is "two restaraunts"

I wonder how to express the phrase "he is the 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.--
