Is the word restauramos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "restauramos" is identical in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding spelling, grammar, and meaning. It is the first-person plural (nós) of the verb restaurar, and it functions as both the present indicative ("we restore") and the preterite perfect indicative ("we restored"). The only differences are phonetic; Brazilians generally pronounce unstressed vowels with more openness and clarity, whereas Portuguese people tend to reduce or "close" these vowels.
