The restaurant is named after the 18th century painter and engraver Reinier Vinkeles. Vinkeles made an etch from the entrance of a former theatre, burnt down in 1772. At the free space, the Roman Catholic "Ouderen & Armen kantoor" was built. It is now the entrance to the restaurant and the hotel.[10][11][12][13]
