Bogotá, Colombia
Zona G is Bogotá's restaurant district with some excellent dining options. It's safe and central but quite expensive and focused mainly on food. Good for a special dinner, not really a place to hang out or explore.
Zona G is Bogotá's fine dining district packed into just four blocks - the place where locals celebrate anniversaries and business people take their most important clients. Everyone dresses up here and the atmosphere is formal and sophisticated. All the restaurant staff speak English since they cater to international businesspeople and wealthy travelers. Solo dining is completely normal and welcomed, especially for women who look like they belong in upscale restaurants. Police patrol regularly since there's serious money flowing through the area. The downside is that it's really just about dinner - most restaurants don't even open until 6pm, and once the meal is finished, the streets empty out because there's nothing else to do. Perfect for a special meal when you want to feel pampered and safe, but plan to head to Chapinero or Zona Rosa afterwards if you want to continue the evening.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Quinta Camacho is the quieter part of Chapinero with embassies and residential streets. It's safe and has some good dining, but less nightlife than central Chapinero. Good middle ground if you want safety without total isolation.
Teusaquillo is a quiet government district that's safe but pretty boring. Good for staying somewhere local and inexpensive, but you'll spend a lot of time in taxis getting to restaurants and nightlife in other neighborhoods.
Zona Rosa is the expensive nightlife district where you'll pay tourist prices but feel safer than in most of Bogotá. It's very commercial and not particularly Colombian in feel, but if safety is your main concern for going out at night, this is your best bet.
