There are two novels by Robertson Davies that speak to me of Toronto,

The Rebel Angels talks of intellectual life, proabably at the Univesity of Toronto, and is the first book of the Cornish trilogy.

The cunning man : a novel is laid in the neighborhood surrounding the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the quintessential Anglo-Catholic parish in Toronto. Almost every big English-speaking city has a parish like this, in that strange area where an Episcopal/Anglican parish is almost, but really not Roman Catholic. They make for good stories, because they can display a slice of life that non-Anglo-Catholics are very unfamiliar with.

I'm reading The Killing Circle by Canadian mystery writer Andrew Pyper - it's a great read and also offers a great tour of the city, especially of the Queen Street West district.

Although it's not expressly mentioned it's in Toronto, The Edible Woman is clearly set there and gives a good feel for the city a few decades back (late 1960's)
