Not sure if restoring content DB clears configuration cache as well for that specific Content DB,

You can follow this blog who had similar kind of problem and he solved it by clearing cache.

Similar kind of problem solved in this question by a different way.

Also can you go to following pages for your top site collection that you said you can view and check ULS Viewer to find any errors come up

  • /_layouts/settings.aspx
  • /_layouts/create.aspx

EDIT

Another Problem can be if any pages or content is corrupted e.g. "default.aspx" as explained in this Blog
