I want to say "I don't know of any delicious restaurant.", and I'm not sure
how to say this :

  * 何も美味しいレストランを知りません.
  * 美味しいレストランは一つも知りません.

But is it grammatically correct to put a noun after 何も ? which one sounds
natural ?

Thank you for your help :)

question
grammar
何も followed by a noun
The latter is more natural, although the former is understandable. 何も知らない and
ひとつも知らない both roughly mean "to know nothing", but 何も知らない is usually about your
knowledge about one particular topic. On the other hand, ひとつも知らない ("don't know
even one") is about the number of items you know.

The position of 何も／ひとつも is flexible, and it can be either before or after
美味しいレストランは. The following sentences are equally fine.

  * 美味しいレストランは一つも知りません。
  * 一つも美味しいレストランは知りません。
