زمینه فرهنگی
It is almost mandatory to say 'Que aproveche' when you make eye contact with someone eating in a public space. Ignoring them can be seen as slightly rude. People often say 'Provechito' when they leave a restaurant, addressing the tables they pass on their way out. 'Buen provecho' is the standard. It is often said with a very warm, melodic intonation. It is common to hear 'Buen provecho' even in very formal business lunches as soon as the food is served.
The 'Igualmente' Rule
If someone says 'Que aproveche' to you while you are both eating, always respond with 'Gracias, igualmente' (Thanks, likewise).
Spain vs LatAm
If you are in Spain, use 'Que aproveche'. If you are in the Americas, stick to 'Buen provecho' to sound more local.
