The visitors were trailing 2-0 at Stade Louis II to Wissam Ben Yedder's double with 38 minutes gone but Benedetto matched his feat either side of Valere Germain's equaliser and Payet's strike, leaving Keita Balde Diao's effort to count for little.
Ben Yedder opened his account from the penalty spot with 17 minutes gone after Boubacar Kamara had handled the ball in the box.
And the Monaco forward doubled his tally from close range just nine minutes later when he rounded off a pacy break.
However Monaco, who had scored twice before the break in their last two games and drawn 2-2, saw their lead evaporate inside three minutes.
Benedetto reduced the deficit with seven minutes of the first half remaining before Germain headed the visitors level from a 41st-minute corner.
There was worse to come for winless Monaco when Payet curled a superb long-range effort into the bottom corner 16 minutes after the restart before Benedetto collected his second of the night five minutes later.
Substitute Keita gave the home side hope with 15 minutes remaining and it took a fine save from Steve Mandanda to deny Islam Slimani an equaliser.
Kalifa Coulibaly kept Nantes within two points of leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a second-half winner in the 1-0 defeat of Reims.
Both sides had chances but it was striker Coulibaly who got the decisive goal on 69 minutes to secure a third successive league win for his side.
Romain Hamouma struck either side of half-time as Saint-Etienne fought back to snatch a 2-2 draw with Toulouse at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
The visitors took the lead with just 15 minutes gone when - after frontman Aaron Iseka had been fouled by Timothee Kolodziejczak inside the box - Max Gradel converted the resulting penalty.
They were two ahead within nine minutes courtesy of Iseka's strike.
Hamouma made it 2-1 from distance on the stroke of halftime and then levelled from Denis Bouanga's cross 11 minutes after the restart.
The hosts thought they had won it deep into stoppage time, only for an own goal by Toulouse fullback Issiaga Sylla to be chalked off after a VAR review.
