PSG seemed to be cruising, but soon after the break Romain Del Castillo equalised for Brest, firing home when Willian Pacho's attempt to keep out Kenny Lala's ball fell to the midfielder.
Dembele stepped up to restore PSG's lead seven minutes later when Bizot's attempt to block Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's shot found its way to the France forward who calmly slotted into the corner.
Five minutes later, Dembele had his third. The 27-year-old made no mistake as Lee Kang-In got hold of a cross from the right and beat two defenders with a sharp turn to find Dembele in the box.
"I think you have to congratulate the team and especially the passers. Because on the first goal, all I had to do was push it home. And on the third, Kang-In's pass was exceptional," Dembele said.
Ajorque, who was a persistent threat in the first half, finally got on the scoresheet in the 71st minute, with a stunning strike from just outside the box.
But as the hosts pushed for a late equaliser, Ramos, who had replaced Dembele in the 67th minute, restored PSG's cushion in the 89th minute as Desire Doue ran up from his own half and found the Portuguese with a perfect cross.
Ramos got his second in stoppage time, scooping up the stray ball after Brendan Chardonnet blocked his attempt to find Doue in the box.
PSG, who are looking for their fourth Ligue 1 title in a row, host Monaco on Friday. Brest visit Nantes the same day.
