Everybody: {Qe'} is "restaurant." {qach} is "building."
Yeah, you can't do it that way. If it were the child who ate in the
restaurant, the sentence would be
HoD Qe'Daq Sopbogh puq vIlegh
assuming that you can put a locative on a relative clause. This is
enormously icky and would probably be misunderstood. At this point, I'd
reword it.
HoD puq vIlegh. Qe'Daq Sop puq.
