In Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletingTrait you can find

	public function restore()
	{
		// If the restoring event does not return false, we will proceed with this
		// restore operation. Otherwise, we bail out so the developer will stop
		// the restore totally. We will clear the deleted timestamp and save.
		if ($this->fireModelEvent('restoring') === false)
		{
			return false;
		}

		$this->{$this->getDeletedAtColumn()} = null;

		// Once we have saved the model, we will fire the "restored" event so this
		// developer will do anything they need to after a restore operation is
		// totally finished. Then we will return the result of the save call.
		$this->exists = true;

		$result = $this->save();

		$this->fireModelEvent('restored', false);

		return $result;
	}

So it looks like there is an restoring and restored event that is being fired.

Thanks zaalbarxx, I totally missed that.
