If you didn't have a backup of the device and you can't see the contacts in your Google account, the only alternative is to go to your Service Provider's website, log in to your account and retrieve as many as you can by looking at the list of calls you made.

In the top right corner of the Contacts page, there should be a three bar menu icon.
Check in there that you're showing All Contacts and not just SIM, or Groups. If you hadn't put any contacts in those other options, the list will appear empty.
