I've tried http://www.freeformatter.com/json-validator.html and it says:

  The JSON input is valid in JavaScript.
  The JSON input is valid according to RFC 4627 (JSON specfication).

Yesterday (tuesday 21st) we pushed the fix for this bug.  I'm testing
it right now with the latest images and it's returning the quotes
properly escaped.  Also, are you loading the data via the
restaurant_feeder.js script or using the preloaded data image?  Maybe
we didn't notify you of this fix, sorry.

The preloaded data image has data for reservations and reviews
(created via the reservations_generator.js and reviews_generator.js
scripts).

I've just pushed a fix to add the header when returning JSON data from
orion.  A new version of the fiware-devguide-app image has just
finished building on docker hub.
