The position is a fact, name is a fact, cuisine they serve is a fact, along with the other details. Facts cannot be copyright. Creative Commons licences are not designed for factual information. [<GG>] I agree with that, and no facts can be protected by any law. Creativity is used in the above data. Whereas on the rendered map http://tile.osm.org/18/130828/87084.png I would argue that creativity has been used to choose the icon, position the text/icon and create the "halo" around the text/icon, which is all contained in the mapnik stylesheet. [<GG>] as you say, the style sheet is protected, and possibly the resulting map (paper, png or jpeg). I personally think that the result (a graphic map) has not the same level of creativity, nor protection, as the method (stylesheet).
