how about a Malaga lunch?
my wife and I are early to rise and go to bed. Lots has been written about places to dine in Malaga, Madrid and other locations in Spain. Little has been written about where to lunch. Lunch will be our primary meal of the day. Any help and recommendations in Malaga and Madrid would be welcome and much appreciated.

What do you like to eat? Málaga has a few good options, Madrid a nearly endless selection.
You might want to make lunch reservations at La Cosmopolita in Malaga (www.lacosmopolita.es), Restaurante Gorki (www.cometemalaga.com/gorki/) or Los Mellizos (www.losmellizos.net).
Some of our favoriate places in Madrid are in barrio Salamanca and include Carlos Tartiere, Taberna La Catapa, Arzábal and of course Álbora (www.restaurantealbora.com) for lunch or dinner.

Los Mellizos, as Robert suggests, is great seafood, paella, arroze etc: http://www.losmellizos.net/index.php...home&address=6
El Meson de Cervantes is excellent:

And as you probably know, lunch is the main meal of the day for most people in Spain. Everywhere you'll find bargain deals for a three course lunch with drinks included from everything from some 8 to 25-30€.
The typical and no fuss local places are usually some 8-12€, but many of the best restaurants also have bargain deals.
In Madrid, I recommend Casa Manolo just behind the Parliament for a traditional lunch: http://11870.com/pro/casa-manolo
And Casa Granada could be fun, on the sixth floor with terrace looking over the Central Tirso de Molina square. Hard to find, as it is in an apartment building: http://www.tripfilms.com/Travel_Vide...ada-Video.html
Casa Marta used to be a favourite lunch place in Madrid, but now the owners have changed. This review gives you nevertheless an idea of the normal set lunch deal you'll find all around Spain: http://gastronomyblog.com/2010/07/01/casa-marta-madrid/

If you have a car, try lunch at La Consula in the village of Churriana out near the airport. Only open for lunch weekdays. A four course, gourmet meal with unlimited wine for €35. Reservations necessary.

And perhaps take a taxi and drive a few kilometers North of Malaga city to Venta El túnel. Fabulous Arroz dishes (a kind of more soupy paella) and paellas with the locals. Could be a great experience: http://www.ventaeltunel.com/galeria/...ialidades.html

I'm a little hesitant to jump in here since it's been ten years, but we enjoyed a lunch at the parador in Malaga. We're not foodies, but I remember a lovely lunch at a table with wonderful views over Malaga.

Driving and "unlimited wine at lunch" is not a good idea in Spain, or anywhere else for that matter. You do not want to get a DUI in Spain, where the minimum fine can be 500€, plus time in jail. It could end up being a costly lunch.
Besides you don't want to deal with the Guardia Civil if you don't have to.
