restaurateurs
They serve meals
Restaurateurs are people who own or manage restaurants.
The word is French, and the spelling without an *n* before the *-teur* is standard, though *restauranteur* appears frequently enough that dictionaries now acknowledge it.
The city's top restaurateurs gathered for the annual food and wine festival.
