I have following restaurants in an index/type

{  
"restaurant" : {  
"id" : "1",  
"name" : "R1",  
"places" : [{ "location" : [24.897564,60.22326] },{ "location" :  
[24.91984,60.170425] },{ "location" : [24.911654,60.15944] },  
{ "location" : [24.91709,60.17587] } ],  
"tags" : ["chinese", "fastfood"]  
}  
}

{  
"restaurant" : {  
"id" : "2",  
"name" : "R2",  
"places" : [{ "location" : [24.911654,60.15944] },{ "location" :  
[24.96398,60.170563] }],  
"tags" : ["chinese", "fastfood", "cheap"]  
}  
}

{  
"restaurant" : {  
"id" : "3",  
"name" : "R3",  
"places" : [{ "location" : [24.913908,60.167263] },{ "location" :  
[24.897907,60.13356] }],  
"tags" : ["bar"]  
}  
}

{  
"restaurant" : {  
"id" : "4",  
"name" : "R4",  
"places" : [{ "location" : [24.925697,60.162685] }],  
"tags" : ["indian"]  
}  
}

{  
"restaurant" : {  
"id" : "5",  
"name" : "R5",  
"places" : [{ "location" : [24.939777,60.161095] }],  
"tags" : ["italian"]  
}  
}

I need a query to search for nearest two distinct restaurants from my  
current location: "lat" : 60.14727, "lon" : 24.89998.  
"location" is of type "geo\_point"  
One restaurant can be at multiple locations (think of Mc D)
