Wilson, ''The Columbia Guide to Standard American English, 1993 The form restaurateur (without the ‘n’) is the earlier form, borrowed from French, while the form (restauranteur) (with an ‘n’) = restaurant + is a later formation, from Anglicized forms, and thus seen by some as an etymological error.
