The owner of the acclaimed establishment avoids jail but is ordered to pay 15 million won in fines.

A South Korean court fined the operator of Evett and its chief executive after the Gangnam restaurant served a dessert topped with ants, an insect not approved for consumption under local food safety law.

Following the success of his Michelin-starred restaurant Géosmine, the chef is opening a second establishment, 'Ethanol,' on the same street, according to Le Monde.
