Evett

Evett is a highly acclaimed, two-Michelin-star restaurant located in Seoul's affluent Gangnam district. The establishment recently gained notoriety when it was fined for violating South Korea's Food Sanitation Act. Specifically, the restaurant was penalized for using ants as a dessert garnish. Local law permits the consumption of only 10 specific insect species, and ants are not among them. The court fined the company operating Evett 10 million won and its chief executive 15 million won for this infraction. This incident highlights the strict regulations surrounding food safety and approved ingredients in South Korea, even for high-end dining establishments.
